La Fillette Bakery

La Fillette is one of the best French bakeries in Montclair that just so happens to be crammed between a 7-Eleven and a nail salon. There’s a large pastry case full of buttery croissants, kouign-amanns, and chocolate-dipped eclairs, as well as a small menu of sandwiches on fresh, homemade bread for lunch. Get a tender duck confit bánh mì served on soft ciabatta with a thick layer of garlic aioli, or a bowl of hatch green chile soup—something that seems to be an unspoken requirement for most Denver restaurant menus.
